PARIS, FRANCE — June 20, 2024— Asphalt Legends Unite, the latest iteration of the popular racing game franchise, today released a thrilling live-action trailer starring its newly appointed ambassador, NASCAR driver and actor Frankie Muniz.
In the trailer, Frankie Muniz and other actors demonstrate the diverse ways players can enjoy Asphalt Legends Unite. From playing on a Samsung tablet during a camping trip to racing on a Steam Deck while traveling to competing on an Xbox in the living room with friends, the trailer highlights the game’s inclusive and versatile nature. This is all made possible by its new multiplayer feature, which allows players to join the same race regardless of their chosen device or platform.
“Frankie Muniz is an incredibly talented actor and NASCAR driver, and we’re honored to have him as an ambassador for Asphalt Legends Unite,” says Arnaud Benefice, Marketing Lead. “His performance and dedication to racing is one we admire, and we can’t wait for our players to race against him this summer!”
Fans of Frankie Muniz can take part in several in-game events, some of which are directly associated with his NASCAR racing schedule. For instance, between August 15 and August 19, players can feel the thrill of racing against Muniz the same weekend he’ll be driving in the Firekeepers Casino 400 at the Michigan International Speedway.

“I think the one thing I really love about the game is it’s fun, you get in the car, you race around, you jump around, and you’re racing against your friends all over the world. That’s what I want when I’m playing a game,” said Frankie Muniz. “I get to race real cars in real life, so if I’m going to be playing a game, I want it to give me a different, exciting, connected experience, and you get that with Asphalt.”
Asphalt Legends Unite will also feature a special edition of Frankie Muniz’s car, which can be unlocked by either completing several in-game events or via in-game purchase from July 24 through October 7.
Gameloft will also produce limited-edition hats signed by Frankie Muniz that players can win during a special promotion at gamescom 2024 in August.
